by Pontiac Fiero Converted into a Lamborghini Diablo
In the world of automobiles, there are true enthusiasts who are willing to transform ordinary cars into replicas of premium models. This time, a 1986 Pontiac Fiero was modified into a Lamborghini Diablo. The car is equipped with a turbocharged V6 engine and an automatic transmission.
This unusual project is listed for sale in Kansas for $18,500. Although the original price was $20,000, the seller has reduced the cost, possibly due to the not-so-successful resemblance to a Lamborghini. Besides the external changes, the car received a bright orange pearl paint job and scissor doors.
Technical Features
Under the hood is a modified, turbocharged V6 with a custom exhaust system. The exact power figures are unknown, but the engine is paired with a GM automatic transmission. The interior features:
The total mileage of the car is 79,000 miles, which is a normal reading for a vehicle of this age. However, the question remains open: is it worth spending money on such a replica if it does not provide the full illusion of a real Lamborghini?
Such projects always spark controversy among car enthusiasts. On one hand, it’s an opportunity to get an unusual car for relatively little money. On the other hand, the original design of the Pontiac Fiero was completely lost, and the result does not always meet expectations. It is worth noting that the replica market remains niche, and finding a buyer for such projects can be difficult.
